'Jenny Morris had a "light bulb" moment teaching an Advanced Placement physics class at Prairie Ridge High School last year.

"I had 16 boys and zero girls," she said.

It prompted Morris to launch Crystal Lake High School District 155's first GEMS (Girls in Engineering, Math, and Science) Conference to be held Saturday.

Sixth- through eighth-graders from feeder schools in Cary, Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Prairie Grove, and a portion of Lake in the Hills are invited to attend the free conference and explore careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).'
